5 Potential finishes to Seth Rollins & Muphy and The Street Profits’ RAW Tag Team Championship match

Seth Rollins has won the RAW Tag Team Championship no less than six times in his career. What makes his reign more interesting is the fact that he has done so with five different partners!

Rollins has won the titles with Dean Ambrose twice, while Roman Reigns, Jason Jordan, and Braun Strowman have shared the titles with The Architect once each. Currently, Rollins holds the titles with Murphy.

The two men defeated The Viking Raiders for the Championships and have been holding it for over a month now, allowing Murphy to get a massive push in his career. The two men will now meet The Street Profits in Saudi Arabia and defend their titles against the two men.

While we do not expect Rollins and Murphy’s reign to come to an end so soon, there are many different ways their match could end. In this article, we will look at the 5 potential finishes to the RAW Tag Team Championship match between Rollins & Muprhy and The Street Profits.

#5 Rollins & Murphy win clean

The two men could shock everyone with a clean victory!

Since winning the RAW Tag Team Championships, the team of Seth Rollins and Murphy have not defended it against the former Champions The Viking Raiders even once.

However, Kevin Owens & Samoa Joe have managed to get their shot at the title but they were unable to win the match owing to an injury Joe sustained during the clash. Owens was forced to complete the match on his own, and the dirty tactics of Rollins and Murphy allowed the two men to retain their title.

Since then, the two men have been using heelish tactics to stay in the game and win matches, something that has not worked well with the babyfaces of RAW.

We could see that all change at Super ShowDown where the two men might actually work harder and rely on their talent rather than dirty tactics to retain their title against The Street Profits.

While this is really unlikely to happen, a clean victory would help Rollins and Murphy come across as top fighting champions and increase their value along with the Championship belts.

#4 The Street Profits win their first RAW Tag Team Championships

Will their efforts yield some profits?

The Street Profits have been one of WWE’s most entertaining tag teams. During their time in NXT, they won the NXT Tag Team Championships and held the belts for almost three months before dropping them and moving to the RAW roster.

While they haven’t had too many matches in the ring since their move, fans have been waiting to watch Angelo Dawkins and Montez Ford get the bookings they deserve and rise to the top of the RAW tag team division that is filled with some great teams at the moment.

With that in mind, the two men will go to war with the two heels who have turned RAW upside down and will look to not only defeat them but take their titles away from them too.

With that in mind, Paul Heyman and his crew will likely pull the trigger and give The Street Profits a big moment by allowing Dawkins and Ford to defeat Rollins and Murphy and win their first big one in WWE.

Both men are deserving of a big title on RAW, and we could watch the two deliver a great performance against the heels and steal the hearts of the fans by winning the RAW Tag Team Championships during a big event.

#3 The Authors of Pain help Rollins & Murphy retain

AOP could play a major role in this match

Authors of Pain have been the biggest gainers, and sort of the losers since siding up with Seth Rollins. While they have gotten an immense amount of television time since joining the Monday Night Messiah, on the one hand, they haven’t gotten too much in-ring action since partnering with him.

In fact, the duo should have been the ones to defeat The Viking Raiders for the RAW Tag Team Championships according to most of the fans.

Anyway, Akam and Rezar have played a huge role in Rollins’ success since his heel turn and were a major factor in him and Murphy winning the RAW Tag Team titles.

Keeping that in mind, it’s likely that the duo will do whatever it takes to protect Rollins and Murphy from losing the titles, as they have worked as henchmen for Rollins.

On Thursday, we will likely see Akam and Rezar join the four men in the ring at ringside and try to influence the outcome of the match.

If that happens to be the case, then we might very well watch the two heavyweights cause some sort of distraction or attack that will help Rollins and Murphy to retain their titles and ensure their faction has some gold to brag about.

#2 Interference ends the match in a disqualification

The chances for interruptions are very high

As mentioned earlier, Authors of Pain will likely run some sort of interruption or distraction in the match to help Seth Rollins and Murphy retain their title.

In fact, Rollins will want the two big men to stay close to the ring at all times in order to ensure that he and Murphy do not end up losing the RAW Tag Team Championships in Saudi Arabia.

While Akam and Rezar could do the job smoothly, the referee may catch them trying to attack The Street Profits. This could result in a disqualification win for The Street Profits who will end up winning the match, but not the title. The result will protect them from a loss while allowing them to build a case for a rematch for the titles at a later date.

Alternatively, we could even watch The Viking Raiders come out to try and equalize the numbers game in favor of The Street Profits, causing a disqualification by mistake.

That could lead to the two teams getting in a rivalry of their own that could lead them to battle amongst themselves before getting in the spot to challenge Rollins and Murphy for the title again.

#1 The Authors of Pain betray Murphy and Rollins

Will the Authors of Pain go their separate ways?

We all remember the circumstances that drew Buddy Murphy into joining Seth Rollins and the Authors of Pain. In case you’ve forgotten, let’s take a jog down memory lane.

Murphy was in a rivalry with Aleister Black that saw him lose three matches consecutively. Murphy was left broken until Rollins approached him for help during a match that saw Rollins, Akam, and Rezar take on Samoa Joe, Kevin Owens, and Big Show. Murphy obliged and attacked Big Show, helping Rollins and the AOP win the Fist Fight.

Now that both men are RAW Tag Team Champions, it’s interesting to see how Authors of Pain, who are former NXT Tag Team Champions and RAW Tag Team Champions, have been snubbed out of the RAW Tag Team Championships scene. Many fans had the opinion that Authors of Pain should have won the RAW Tag Team Championships from The Viking Raiders rather than Rollins and Murphy.

With that in mind, Akam and Rezar will likely be bitter and look to get back in the race for the RAW Tag Team title. We could see them attack and take out Murphy, leaving Rollins on his own and leading to the duo losing the titles before walking away.

This would make things much more interesting as Rollins is trying to build a force of followers and with him initial two disciples turning on him, his task will just get much tougher.
